Ute Reservation: The Uintah and Ouray Reservation is located in Fort Duchesne approximately 150 miles east of Salt Lake City. And the reservation rests within a three-county area known as the “Uintah Basin.” The reservation covers over 4.5 million acres and is the second largest Indian reservation in the United States. Three bands of Utes comprise the Northern Ute tribe: the Whiteriver, Uncompahgre, and Uintah. The Uintah Band was first to call the Uintah Basin their home; later the Whiteriver and Uncompahgre bands were removed from Colorado to the Uintah Valley Reservation, thus creating the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
Indains are allowed to live there in peace with the rest of there tribes.
